No. 7 Ole Miss (9-1, 5-1 SEC) will return to action on Saturday night for a primetime matchup against the Florida Gators at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

In a matchup that will have no shortage of drama leading into it, Lane Kiffin and Co. enter the SEC clash looking to remain alive in the College Football Playoff race with the program controlling it's own destiny.

“I think these guys are going to come out ready to play. You know, they beat us last year. They got great players," Kiffin said of the Gators.

"You’ve seen them pull off big games and go beat Texas and play other people really close like Georgia. They got great players and I think that second half (of the Kentucky game) is not going to be indicative at all of what we would see.”
